Maternity - Having Your Baby at NWH

Choosing a Hospital

Whether you’re expecting your first child, or you feel like you’ve become a seasoned professional at labor and delivery, one thing remains constant: deciding where to give birth is just as important as carefully planning one’s labor and delivery.

At NWH, we believe our patients should have a birthing experience designed to meet their expectations, keeping in mind what is advised medically. From our physicians, midwives and labor & delivery nurses, to our nurses in the nursery and ICU… our entire team is committed to ensuring the safest delivery for mother and baby.

Members of our medical and nursing staff have trained at leading institutions, have long enjoyed careers at NWH, and possess a wealth of knowledge that they readily share with patients and their families. These healthcare professionals use a team approach to support families during this very special event in their lives. They provide the comfort, reassurance, and personal attention they expect during your birth experience.

Visiting Hours

Visiting hours are directed by the new mom. However, Maternal/Child Health has a Quiet Bonding Time from 2:00pm to 4:00pm daily, when rest, and quiet time to cultivate relaxation and bonding with newborn.

Birthing Rooms

Six state-of-the-art private birthing rooms with private bathrooms provide a warm, home-like environment, which allow the mother to remain in the same room throughout the birth experience. .
